How to grow Panama Haze
Taste
Seb's take
Purple Haze and Green Haze meet Panama Goddess here, three storied names that between them owe no apologies for potency. Lemon, incense, and spice on the nose, with the high running psychedelic, euphoric, and energetic. Tall and flexible, she wants regular pruning, but she's hardy enough to shrug off most climates.
Where it comes from
Ace Seeds combined three storied names for this pure sativa: Purple Haze, Green Haze and Panama Goddess. Between them they owe no apologies for potency, and the crossing carries the deep Haze character alongside the Panama landrace brightness. A fast-growing variety by the record's account, she produces great yield with very little management, which makes her recommended for breeders after something easy to handle. Serious sativa heritage, assembled with care and rendered less demanding than the parentage might lead you to fear.
Nose & flavour
Strong and lemony, with incense and spice giving it depth and a fruity note lifting the top. It is a bright, complex nose in the full Haze tradition, the citrus and spice playing off one another over an aromatic, incense-like base. Loud and characterful, it carries the pedigree of its three parents clearly. A rich, layered aroma that keeps revealing itself and holds well on the exhale.
The high
Psychedelic, euphoric and energetic, a forceful cerebral experience true to the Haze names behind it. It is strong and very potent, the sort of high that reaches for the ceiling and keeps you moving rather than settled. A daytime effect with real intensity, bright and lively throughout. Given the potency, pace yourself; this is a sativa that means business. Engaging, expansive company for an active afternoon.
Growing it
Tall and flexible, with strong lateral branching, so she will need regular pruning to keep her in order. She flowers over a long 91 to 112 days, as a pure Haze demands, and the record lists a high yield without a firm figure, so I will not invent one. THC runs 18 to 23 percent, with CBD at 1 percent. She grows in every clime and resists disease, pests, humidity and fungus well, wanting only moderate nutrients throughout. Patient, but hardy and generous for the wait.
